Well, Spikey, there is a "best practice suggestion" as you mention: http://www.gamingforce.com/forums/be...3-ripping.html
It's just that a lot of people tend to do it their own way, regardless. *shrugs* You can't expect everyone to be as enthusiastic about high quality VBR MP3 / Ogg Vorbis files as you are. And Vorbis isn't exactly a miracle format, either. You can encode Ogg Vorbis files so that they sound just as terrible as low-bitrate MP3s. How ya doing, buddy?  Good morning, post-apocalyptia!

Oh, and to be actually on topic, I support FLAC over the rest. It has great support on all sorts of platforms, is efficient in CPU usage, and supports ReplayGain (a must for me). While Monkey's Audio and some other codecs may have higher compression ratios, it's usually only by a slight percentage. Plus FLAC is now integrated natively into the latest versions of Winamp, my PC media player of choice. There's nowhere I can't reach. Good morning, post-apocalyptia! |
